She Is From The Countryside

Shi Yan’s Book Fell

Jiang Rui, who was suddenly struck by her beauty, stared at her with wide eyes. It took her quite a while to come back to her senses.

“Xiao Yan, your hair is so perfect when it’s down. Why do you always tie it up? You look so good like this!”

“It’s not convenient,” Shi Yan said as she handed her the rubber band. “Don’t you want this?”

“Yes, of course!”

Jiang Rui took it and tied her hair into a high ponytail.

Seeing that she was carrying a pile of things and an empty bucket, Shi Yan asked, “Do you really not need help? I can help you move the things back first.”

“No, no! I can do it myself!”

At this moment, a voice came, “Rui’er.”

Seeing the person, Jiang Rui asking in surprise, “Eh? Brother, why are you here? Aren’t you at the company at this time? Why are you at home?”

“I came back to get something.” His gaze fell on the pile of things that she was struggling to hold. “What are you doing?”

As he spoke, he had already walked over to help Jiang Rui take some of the things.

“Fishing. I originally planned to fish here, but I didn’t see any fish today. I didn’t catch a single one. It wasn’t interesting, so I decided to pack up and go back.”

Looking at the schools of fish in the lotus pond, Jiang Cheng was confused.

“Why didn’t you call someone over to help?”

“I can do this small thing by myself. There’s no need to trouble others to come. But since you’re here, brother, help me get everything . Xiao Yan still wants to read here, so we won’t disturb her. Let’s go.”

Only then did she see the people who came with Jiang Cheng.

“Eh, second brother Han is here too.”

“The things your brother came back to get are what I wanted. Since there’s nothing else, we came together.”

Although he was talking to Jiang Rui, Han Di’s gaze had been fixed on Shi Yan.

Jiang Rui saw it and instantly understood.

“Then let’s go. When my brother helps me take these things back, you guys can go back to your work.”

She did not plan to introduce them.

However, Han Di didn’t seem to want to stop there.

He looked at Shi Yan and asked, “This is…”

The surprise in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.

However, Shi Yan acted as if she didn’t see it. She smiled faintly and nodded at Jiang Cheng. Then, her gaze fell on Jiang Rui.

Her expression was indifferent.

Since he had already asked, it would be rude to ignore him. Only then did Jiang Rui begin to introduce them.

“This is Shi Yan, my grandmother’s savior and also her guest.”

“Xiao Yan, this is Han Di, the Second Young Master of the Han family in Sea City. He’s my brother’s good friend.”

“Hello, Miss Shi. Nice to meet you.”

Han Di reached out his hand to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan glanced at him and was about to shake his hand.

“Aiya, it’s so heavy. Second Brother Han, please help me take some. Thank you,” Jiang Rui handed the bucket to Han Di.

Looking at the extra bucket in his hand, Han Di was surprised.

He looked at Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui acted as if she did not see his complaint. She waved at Shi Yan and turned around to leave.

“We’ll be leaving first, Xiao Yan. I won’t disturb you while you’re reading.”

Shi Yan curved her lips into a smile and retracted her hand. She nodded slightly at Han Di as a form of acknowledgment to him that she was very happy to meet him.

Under such circumstances, it was a little inappropriate to shift the bucket and extend his hand to shake her hand. Han Di’s current mood was really difficult to describe. In addition, Jiang Rui and Jiang Cheng had both turned around and left, so it was not good for him to stay too long to help carry the things. He could only smile and nod at Shi Yan before following the two of them.

Looking at Jiang Rui’s back view, Han Di’s eyes were filled with grievance.

This girl must have done it on purpose!

However, he knew very well how much Jiang Sheng doted on his sister. He knew that she did it on purpose, but he could do nothing about it. He did not even dare to say it out loud. As for the reason, should he tell them that he had taken a liking to a girl the moment he saw her? This made him seem very unstable.

He heard that Miss Shi Yan had entered Sea City’s University to study here. In that case, she would have to stay in sea city for at least four years.

Then he would take it slow. Four years was enough.

Shi Yan did not know what Han Di was thinking after he had left. In other words, she did not care. After they left, the pavilion in the lotus pond became quiet again. She sat down and continued to read.

The pavilion did not have a cloister that extended into the pond, but t was close to the shore. Walking out of the pavilion was an asphalt path. However, this place was filled with the color of a lotus pond, and there were willows by the pond. In addition, very few people came here, so it was very quiet.

An hour later, Shi Yan finished reading a book.

She closed the book and placed it on the stone table. She did not immediately read the next one. Instead, she looked at the vibrant lotus pond in front of her and let her eyes rest.

After her eyes had rested enough, she still did not immediately open the next book. Rather, she took the phone that was placed on the stone table and lit up the screen to unlock it.

She did not pick it up. She just put the phone on the stone table and poked at the screen with one hand.

After a few pokes, the screen turned black again. From the beginning to the end, she did not open any software. She just stared at the calm surface of the phone.

She put the dark-screened phone to the side and picked up the other book.

The breeze blew gently. The weeping willows around her made a slight rustling sound. The black hair of the girl who was quietly reading in the pavilion was also blown gently. Her delicate face was completely exposed, falling into the eyes of the people under the weeping willows not far away.

Under the weeping willows, a man in a white shirt was sitting in a wheelchair. His face was exquisite, and he had a pair of deep, distant eyes. He was leaning against the back of the wheelchair and sitting there, the beautiful scenery around him eclipsed by him.

At this moment, he was looking at the girl who was reading in the pavilion in the lotus pond not far away.

The girl was dressed in an ordinary white t-shirt and black pants, with her hair casually draped over her shoulders. She had not put on any makeup, but she was even more beautiful than the most dazzling plum blossom that bloomed in the winter snow. There was a sense of indifference around her body that had been washed away.

She was like a lady who had walked out of a picture. The temperament of a lady from a noble family did not need to be deliberately expressed.

The temperament of a lady seemed to be carved into her bones.

As he was watching, he saw the girl pick up the phone.

The sound of the wind blowing against the surrounding vegetation was quite loud. Due to the fact that he was quite far away, he did not hear what the girl said vert clearly. He only saw her close the book in her hand after she hung up the phone, as if she was going to pack up her things and leave.

Her movements were not fast. There was a sense of calm and unhurriedness in her movements.

It was unknown what was driving him, but the man’s hand pressed on the button on the armrest of the wheelchair, and the wheelchair followed the asphalt path towards the gazebo.

By the time he reached the gazebo, the girl had already left.

She was about ten meters away from him.

It had been an impulsive move, and now that he was awake, he didn’t intend to chase after her anymore. However, he suddenly saw that a book had fallen on the ground in front of him.

The cover of the book should have been the one the girl had just read.

Pressing the wheelchair’s button again, the wheelchair moved forward. The man bent down to pick up the book. Looking at the girl’s back in front of him, he said softly, “You dropped your book.”
